# Overview
The Payroll module is the central system used by the HR Manager or Admin to manage employee compensation, set salary structures, and process payments. It integrates with the Time & Attendance module to ensure that approved work hours are accurately compensated.
#### Core Functions & Sub-Modules
The module is structured into two primary areas:
* **Set Salary (Salary List):** This is the database for defining and managing the pay structure for every employee.
* It lists employees by Employee Code and Name.
* It tracks the Payroll Type (e.g., Monthly/Fixed) and the Base Salary amount for each staff member.
* It includes a search function to quickly locate employees by code or name.
* **Payslips (Implied)**: This sub-module is used to generate, distribute, and archive employees' pay statements, showing a breakdown of earnings, deductions, and net pay.
#### HR/Admin Focus
The Payroll module is essential for financial accuracy and employee trust:
* **Compensation Control**: Provides the administrative control to modify and audit employee salaries and payroll frequency.
* **Data Integration:** Utilizes approved data from the Timesheet module (Time & Attendance) to calculate variable pay components, such as Overtime, which are not explicitly shown on the Salary List but are necessary for final payroll processing (implied functionality).
* **Compliance:** Ensures all salary records and payslip generation comply with financial regulations and company policy.
